Gaza District
Arab village destroyed by Israel in 1948
When the Israelis created their nearby settlement of Ramat Gan,
they planted trees among the abandoned Palestinian homes so that
they would not have to look at them and that way they could pretend
that they did not take someone else's land. Planting trees to cover
the ruins or abandoned Arab village was a way to help ease the
concept of land theft by Israel's settlers. The village was named in
honor of a Muslim Imam who is buried over a small tel overlooking
the old Palestinian village. The grave and the cemetery have been
uncared for and no one is allowed to visit there.
